My first flight shot of a Snipe. I was shooting at at it while it was perched on a fence post and got this one frame as it took flight.

I love the oversized beaks on these guys. This one's markings look a bit unusual. Their aerial breeding displays are dramatic and high energy.
I know it's not the best shot, but these birds are darn hard to photograph around here! I'm surprised that this came out as nicely as it did at only 300 mm. I'll have to try harder in the future.
happy birding,

This beautiful male was my first sighting of this season at the Garden. It was a pleasant spring aftersoon, and he was singing his heart out for several minutes.

The fall migrating warblers fly through in mixed warbler species waves often associated with bands of Black-capped Chickadees. They aren't singing, but do emit their short warning or scolding calls.
They are constantly on the move looking for food to sustain them on the next leg of their journey south. There no control of the light situation.as they move through light and shadow. This one just caught something to eat, and paused for a few seconds.
St. Albert, Alberta.
Yesterday's somewhat unexpected snow must have surprised this Wilson's Snipe, it was not getting any response to its melodious Song.
Bad weather usually results in good opportunities for photography, saw few Moose and Coyotes.
One of the most cooperative shorebirds in Alberta, allows ample time to all photographer to fill there memory cards and even comeback the next day to snap some more portraits.
This and all my fall warbler posts to come were photographed in my new country yard in between unpacking stuff from our moving boxes. A lot of Wilson's passed through during the first couple of days after the move.

We waited which seemed like forever for this fella to take off. Had to rest a few times and reset to relax the shoulder burn. Then finally, just like that, gone! I barely had the room to fit it inside the frame. Light was awesome that evening... Click for larger view. Last post for awhile. Will be in Oahu! :)
A lifer for me. Surprisingly, the water was almost the same colour as the bird.
Je croyais avoir déjà photographié cet oiseau auparavent, mais non, c'est un lifer pour moi.

Wilson lives a few houses away from me, but he was visiting my neighbors' yard while they were out of town.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Many birds like this Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata) will sit on elevated perches like this fence post to get a better view of the surrounding habitat for any potential intruders or danger. This bird was roosting along the edge of a shallow wetland east of Hanna, Alberta, Canada.
